Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conceptual evolution of smart cities is highly motivated by the advancement of information and communication technologies (ICTs). The purpose of a smart city is to facilitate the best quality of life to its inhabitants. Its implementation has to be supported by the compliant utilities and networked infrastructures. In the current world, it can only be achieved by applying ICTs in an extensive manner. The move towards the smart city's seamless connectivity widens the scope of cyber security concerns. Smart city infrastructures to face a high risk of targeted attacks due to extended cyber-physical vulnerabilities. This creates many challenging research issues relevant to the design and implementation of cyber security solutions. Networks associated with city infrastructures vary from a small indoor one to a large geographically distributed one. The context of a network is an essential consideration for security solutions. This thesis investigates a set of optimal security placement problems for enhancing monitoring in smart city infrastructures. It develops solutions to such placement problems from a resource management perspective. Economy and quality-of-security service (QoSS) are two major design goals. Such goals are translated into three basic performance metrics: (i) coverage, (ii) tolerance, and (iii) latency. This thesis studies security placement problems pertaining to three different types of networks: (i) wireless sensor network (WSN), (ii) supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) backbone, and (iii) advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) wide area network (WAN). In a smart city, WSNs are deployed to support real time monitoring and safety alert (RTMSA) applications. They are highly resource constrained networks. For WSNs, placement problems for an internally configured security monitor named watchdog have been studied. On the other hand, a smart grid is a key driver for smart cities. SCADA and AMI are two major components of a smart grid. They are associated with two different types of geographically distributed networks. For SCADA backbones, placement problems for a specially designed security device named trust system have been studied. For AMI-WANs, placement problems for a cloud-based managed security service have been studied. This thesis proposes a number of promising solution schemes to such placement problems. It includes evaluation results that demonstrate the enhancements of the proposed schemes.

Download or read book Security of Smart City Network Infrastructures written by Elie Semaan Nasr and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to design and implement a cyber-threat intelligence strategy to support strategic decisions. Early warning and detection of breaches are decisive to being in a state of readiness, meaning that the emphasis of cybersecurity has changed to threat intelligence. For that reason, we created, analyzed, implemented, and tested two solutions. The first solution acts as a predictive and proactive mechanism. It is a novel framework used to analyze and evaluate quantitatively the vulnerabilities associated with a smart city network. This solution uses the Markov Chain Model to determine the highest vulnerability severity level of a potential attack path in the attacks graph of the network. High severity level of a potential attack path will lead the system administrator to apply appropriate security measures a priori to attacks occurrence. The second solution acts as a defensive or self-protective mechanism. This framework mitigates the zero-day availability attacks based on Identification, Heuristics and Load Balancer in a reasonable time frame. This defensive mechanism has been proposed mainly to mitigate Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks since they are considered one of the most severe availability attacks that could paralyze the smart city's network and cause complete black out. This solution relies on two load balancers in which the first one uses a heuristic approach, and the second acts as a backup to produce a solution in a reasonable time frame.
